  • At This Election We Risk Losing So Much of What We Value in Our Society
    At this election we risk losing so much of what we value in our society. The Green Party will stand up for what matters. A properly funded NHS, free from the threat of the profit motive. Good schools for all our children, so they can make the most of their potential without being selected by ability or restricted by a narrow regime of testing Young people should have the opportunities that my generation had – a free university education and the freedom to live, work and study abroad We welcome EU citizens and want them to stay; not have their family life and work prospects threatened. We'll give the public a vote on the terms of the Brexit deal. Protection for the environment and urgent action on climate change. The UK's commitment to the Paris climate change agreement is meaningless without action. Instead of undermining renewable energy technology and its potential to create jobs, the Green Party will invest in them. We won't subsidise fossil fuels or the white elephant that is Hinkley nuclear power station. We'll invest in public transport, walking and cycling, and scrap the major roads programme. Green Party membership and votes are growing locally and across the country. Shrewsbury has just elected its first Green member of Shropshire Council and the town council. If elected I'd support farmers and small businesses against the harmful effects of a hard Brexit; campaign against the damaging and wasteful North West Relief Road; and work to keep local public services strong and properly funded. I've lived in Shrewsbury since 2000 and my two children went to Meole Brace School and Shrewsbury Sixth Form College.

PATRICK JENKIN MP SECRETARY OP STATE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT 1. .The parish review report submitted to us on 3 November 1982 by South Shropshire District Council contained a request for us to make proposals for a change to the district's boundary with the adjoining Borough of Shrewsbury and Atcham with a view to transferring part of All Stretton parish from the Borough of Shrewsbury and Atcham to Ratlin^iope parish in South Shropshire district. 2. We considered the Council's request, as required by section 48(5) of the Local Government Act 1972 having regard to Department of the Environment Circular 33/78 and to our Report No. 287 (now subsumed in Report No. 443)- 3. We noted that the residents involved had indicated (in response to an enquiry by our Secretariat) that it was their wish to be transferred to the Parish of Ratlinghope, on the grounds of physical accessibility and the fact that all their associations were with that parish and with South Shropshire district. Shropshire County Council advised us that they had no objection to the change. Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council, however, maintained that they did not wish to initiate any reviews of the existing borough boundary.

  • Oliver Dowden Dear Daniel Kawczynski, Culture Recovery
    Oliver Dowden Rt Hon Oliver Dowden MP Secretary of State DCMS 4th Floor 100 Parliament Street London SW1A 2BQ E: [email protected] www.gov.uk/dcms Dear Daniel Kawczynski, Culture Recovery Funding in Shrewsbury and Atcham constituency Our world-class cultural, creative and heritage sectors have been some of the hardest hit by Covid-19, and in July last year, the Government announced an unprecedented £1.57 billion support package to see them through the crisis. So far, over £1 billion worth of funding from the Culture Recovery Fund has been allocated across the United Kingdom. This includes over £800 million to almost 3800 arts, culture and heritage organisations in England, helping to support at least 75,000 jobs. As you know, £258 million was held back as a contingency and formed the basis of a second round of grant and repayable finance funding (totalling £400 million) which was announced in December, and closed in late January (1 February for the BFI). Today we announced the outcome of that second round across both grants and repayable finance. Within this second round, over £390 million worth of funding has been allocated to over 2,700 arts, culture and heritage organisations in England that met the core criteria of cultural or heritage significance, and could also demonstrate clear financial need. It will support organisations’ transition from the challenging months of lockdowns and social distancing to welcoming audiences and visitors back to the country’s theatres, museums, cinemas, music venues and heritage sites. This brings the total support to date from the Culture Recovery Fund to over £1.2 billion for over 5000 cultural and heritage organisations or sites in England.

  • Electronic Voting
    Submission to the Speaker’s Commission on Digital Democracy – electronic voting The Electoral Reform Society has over 100 years of experience and knowledge of democratic processes and institutions. As an independent campaigning organisation working for a better democracy in the UK, we believe voters should be at the heart of British politics. Electronic voting Measures to make voting easier, more convenient and more in tune with modern life are welcome but e-voting is not a panacea to the long-term decline in political engagement and participation. ERS research1 into e-voting pilots in the UK found that offering electronic voting options resulted in only minimal increases in turnout. The data also suggested that many of the people using e-voting would have voted by standard means were e-voting not available. Ten local authorities piloted e-voting in 20032 experimenting with one or more of the following options: internet voting, telephone voting, digital tv voting and text message voting. Four additional authorities piloted combining e-voting with postal voting. In the ten e-voting pilots, participation increased significantly in only one council (Vale Royal) from 31% in 1999 to 44% in 2003. Turnout fell in seven of the pilot areas (though three of these had used e-voting previously). In the combined all-postal and e-voting pilots, turnout rose in two areas and fell in the two other areas. The two areas in which turnout fell had piloted all-postal voting at the previous election. Take up of e-voting varied between 9 and 25% across all the pilots.

  • The Statistical Bias Against Unitary Counties
    THE STATISTICAL BIAS AGAINST UNITARY COUNTIES How local government reorganisation has hidden deprivation and threatens to strip authorities of funding Steve Fothergill and Tony Gore Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research Sheffield Hallam University Final report October 2011 This report has been funded by Durham County Council. An additional input of Prof Fothergill’s time was provided by the Industrial Communities Alliance, the all-party association of local authorities in Britain’s industrial areas. 1 Contents Summary 1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THE REPORT The nature of the problem The report 2. THE AVAILABILITY OF STATISTICS The authorities affected by reorganisation Review of published data Data availability: some conclusions 3. THE IMPACT ON THE MEASUREMENT OF DISADVANTAGE A working method Indices of Deprivation DWP benefits data The impact: an assessment 4. A SPECIAL CASE? The counter-argument The scale of the new unitary counties Why size matters Special case: an assessment 5. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS An unintended by-product of reorganisation Recommendations 2 Summary The reorganisation of local government in parts of England in 2009 has created a statistical anomaly. Whereas data for 36 former district councils is now being discontinued, figures continue to be produced for 201 districts within the surviving two-tier counties. This threatens to hide deprivation in the new unitary counties and, in turn, to erode the likelihood that some of these unitary counties will benefit from funding streams that target areas of disadvantage. This could develop into a major, on-going problem. It would be astonishing if, in the long run, statistics for local disadvantage did not continue to guide policy and funding even though current area-based initiatives are being run down.
